LIVE AT THE PONGMASTERS BALL

Ozrics for me have always been a live band. The magic of their home "studio" albums has been how close to live performance they have been. we have all been spoilt in recent years by the release of many many albums online of live performances in the US along with early recordings and scratchings,

The Pongmasters is a fabulous live alum. Up there with Live Underslunky. While many bands have to be experienced live and are fabulous their live albums are somehow disappointing. Not for Ozrics, somehow, the precision and energy of the performance translates to the recording: hey its like Thelonius Monk at the Five Spot.

As a long toothed fan the highlight was Hup Ho World because it takes you back to the very early days.

This is simply an excellent recording of great live performances by the maser of psychedelic spacerock. There is a strong argument that if you were to purchase only 1 Ozric album it would be this, Domes of G'Bal, Sploosh, Kick Muck, Oakum all have withstood the test of time. If it had Tight Spin we would be in a state of bliss.

Very few albums are essential (working on the basis that 200-400 hits most peoples storage limtis for LPs. But this one is.
